I think this bottle might be spoiled somehow, tastes like mushrooms in vinegar. I will source another bottle and revisit this.

The aroma opens with bright citrus layered over fresh earthiness, cooling mint, and a light thread of petrichor. Pepperiness adds energy, while an assertive ethyl presence gives the nose a sharp, spirited edge. On the palate, lemon and lime citrus lead before yielding to earthy notes and a steady foundation of petrichor. Light floral tones, mint, and a touch of brine add freshness, while pronounced cinnamon, gentle wood, and allspice build warmth through the mid-palate. A subtle vegetal quality rounds out the profile without overwhelming it. The finish lingers with petrichor and citrus, but it's the cinnamon that ultimately leaves the strongest impression, clinging to the palate long after the brighter notes have faded.

Conditions: indoors, 70 degrees, Kenzie glass, resting for 30 min Appearance: pale light gold shimmer, numerous legs that took a while to form possibly hinting at viscosity and / or sugar and alcohol content Aroma: medium to intense, oak and leather melds with sweet carmelized agave, angels food cake and lemon bar. As it opens, some earthy lemon grass appears later on evolving into stone fruit sweetness. Taste: prominent barrel flavor sticks around on the initial, with a fine balance of cooked agave, black pepper, toaster strudel (cinnamon) and a savory quality hinting at Thanksgiving spices and allspice. Finish is lingering and contemplative with a great harmony and balance that coats the palate and lingers. Very appealing expression for either the mixologist and /or the agave afficionado.

Has a similar funk to Don Fulano, but I prefer this taste to that

Aroma of cooked agave, vegetal, minerals, cinnamon, anise and pear. Flavor of cooked agave, black pepper, cinnamon, minerals, anise and jalapeno. Finish is medium-long.

But, now, at less than $50/bottle (and sometimes cheaper with a 10% off coupon at Total Wine), I’m more than pleasantly surprised. This is a fantastic sipper that offers a unique profile with funkiness and botanical notes that are incredibly easy to enjoy and make it an easy repeat buy. Haven’t tried it yet in a cocktail, but that will change soon.

Re-rated this. I dropped some points. The flavor left an odd aftertaste which lingered even after a mouth rinse. This was the least popular tequila amongst a 5 person group. The most popular was Don Vicente blanco. I don’t think I will repurchase this even with it’s fair price.

First off mouthfeel wow, silky/ velvety. On the nose- agave, minerality, slight earthiness Taste- agave upfront with nice minerality, flowing right into mint and slight herbal/ earthiness.

Tasted at QDJ with Charlie. This one lives up to the hype! This is a great new one! From aroma to finish, this one is excellent. The aroma is full of cooked agave, earth and bright citrus notes. There’s even a hint of mineral and funk. But no bad. The taste is full of cooked agave with very light sweetness and for only 40% it let you know it’s there. The finish is incredibly long and wonderful full of agave and good heat. I’m putting this on the buy list

Let this blanco open up and it will surprise you with layers of flavors. Earthy, vegetal, sweet agave, and spicy pepper. Briny olives and minerals.

Tasting notes in progress

Aromas: Green and vegetal. Raw green bell pepper. Buttered cooked artichokes. Minerals, mint, rosemary, thyme and green peppercorns. Spicy cinnamon, a pinch of ground cloves and an undercurrent of vanilla. Pineapple and green apple providing upper range fruitiness; and a big punch of perfume tinged agave. Flavor Impressions: Cinnamon, spices and jaunty pepper heat - ramping up as it opens. A composed and nuanced honeyed sweetness with medium body. The rich sweetness fades rather abruptly. Complexity and balance, with a touch of butterscotch and walnut on the waning retrohale. The Guanajuato agaves are the highlight and heart of this blanco, giving it a subtle wild agave note. Hats off to Maestra de Tequila Diana Quiroz.

tasting at the cellar cabo 9/30/23 small pour and bottle was just opened. so I didn't get the agave profile others have mentioned. would like to revisit

On the nose, I’m immediately impressed. These aromas hit my personal preference. The roasted agave and earthy minerals are upfront. There’s some white pepper and natural sweetness along with some green peppers and hints of petrichor. There’s a nice rustic quality to this nose and some density. It’s very pleasant. - I first taste the agave up front but it was a more vegetal taste than the nose presented. The sweetness works well with the pepper and vegetal notes. There’s some pleasant alcohol tingle. The sweetness is akin to a thin honey with some natural vanilla and botanicals. There’s some cinnamon in the spice and some brine in the minerals. The pepper lingers nicely. The more I sip the more the flavors stack up. The first sip was thin on the palate but the flavors quickly build into a more dense tasting experience. The later sips also produce a more buttery agave and deeper spicy notes. - This is a fun tequila. The nose is excellent and the taste keeps building upon itself while simultaneously lingering.

Fresh agave bright nose. Sweet agave, minerals, and brine flavor. Very nice!

Buttery aroma. Very smooth with just a hint of agave. A slightly weak flavor profile with a hint of spice on the finish.

This wonder had him hook on first sip with its sweet amazing crisp finish and melon notes with a peppery hint and a citrus aroma what gem.

AROMA: Rich, warm sweetness of cooked agave, balanced by fresh, green vegetal and herbal notes. You'll get a distinct mineral quality, followed by a pop of bright lime zest, all wrapped up in a lively white pepper finish. FLAVOR: The flavor is deeply rooted in that classic, sweet warmth of cooked agave, followed by a robust blend of earthy, mineral, and green vegetable notes. Crisp herbal qualities emerge in the middle, and it all settles into a clean finish with a distinct pop of white pepper. FINISH: The finish of this Tequila as leaving a warm, clean sensation on the palate. The initial sweetness of the agave softly fades out, making room for the crisp, herbaceous and mineral characters to truly shine. Then, those grounding earthy tones settle in, while a vibrant zap of lime and white pepper bring a bright, memorable end.
